Fat Nats Eggs

I like the food but the service is horrible. The server Tara is the only actual real life prostitute I’ve ever met. Or if you’re into that she likes to be called «Brown Sugar». She uses the customers there to build her personal clientele. Horrible.

I enjoyed the food. It was a busy Sunday morning, but the staff was exceptional and the food was good. I had the eggs benedict. It’s not my MOST favorite place to go, and I’m sure if I’m in the area I’ll go back someday. But I won’t go out of my way to go back.

I love this place for Southwestern spice. i’m convinced Nat’s makes the best salsa verde in the universe, making the Huevos Rancheros top notch.
all of Nat’s plates are huge and delish including great «All-​American» breakfast favorites.
The extra hour on Sat and Sun are a civilized approach to weekends.

There is only one bad thing I could say about this place: THEY’ER NOT IN THE SOUTH METRO!!!
This was a great find. The service was fantastic and the food was the best!!! Do the fritter french toast.

Not for me! I’ve never been before and will not go back. I was in the area to fix a tire at a neighboring business. The place just does not look sanitary. The carpets were disgusting (Plenty of time to have gotten them cleaned up from winter, so please don’t use that excuse!) A small bug was found in the food person I was dining with and there was dried lipstick on the cup I was given. Finally, much of the wait staff looked a mess, like they did not care about the fact that appearance matters when you are handling someone else’s food! Again, I won’t be back.

Found this on Unilocal.Greeted and seated by Tony (lots of personality). Simple interior but comfortable. Full of locals (pretty people). Ordered the bacon/​avocado eggs Benedict very tasty. Got the Stones over the speakers, I’ll be back!

Great laid-​back environment. The staff is great and the Food is amazing! I came in hoping for the best and left upset I wasn’t able to eat more. This is truly a gem everyone should come and experience.

Loved the huevos rancheros carnitas. Good amount of food and just a bit spicy. Tried the chorizo and it was good too; not too oily. Service was speedy and attentive. A lot better than your average greasy spoon.

This is a review solely for my Emily’s Omelette I had. I am not really a fan of omelettes but I decided to try something other than my usual benedict’s. I am so glad I did! Emily’s Omelettle was soooooooo good! It was gooey from the cheese, spicy from the super good spicy avocado verde, and the perfect amounts of tomato, bacon and onion. Most places use too much onions and tomatoes that I end up removing half of it. I do like onions and tomatoes but it can get overwhelming for me. I did not leave any leftovers. As plain as that sounds, it’s really more than just an omelette (unless you’re an omelette fanatic and truly know what good and normal is), try it for yourself and tell me what you think. Their portions are pretty big. I don’t know what else to say to persuade you to try it, JUST TRY IT!
What my friends ordered and thought:
Fat Nat’s Omelette: They preferred Emily’s
Sirloin Steak: Nothing different from cooking it at home but good potatoes
Grandma’s Omelette: They preferred Emily’s. They also said it was the best omelette they had.
Maybe we’re just basic ;P

Go early or be ready to wait! It is what they say! It is really that good! You will want to eat everything!
Atmosphere is so small town like and warm.
Can’t go wrong with what you order.

Went here for late brunch on a sunday. Place was packed but we got a table after a 15 minutes wait (People were moving quickly so dont get fooled by the long line outside) Its a classic american diner with no extra frills and no nonsense attitude. Service was really quick. We ordered David benedict and green chilli Huevos. Chilli was good and not too hot. Pork was cooked perfectly and beef hash along with david benedict was yummy. i felt both the dishes to have little too much of potatoes. Portion size were huge, so one dish should be more than enough for one and no need of extra sides. Worth a try for breakfast.

I went here with a friend for brunch yesterday and it was sooo good! Great portion sizes and variety in the menu. Wasn’t a fan of the Mac and Cheese for the simple fact it was a bit bland and wayyy too cheesy, but I had a ranchero egg dish with potatoes and carnitas it was delicious! A cool little spot with great food. A definite favorite and will be going back alot!

Was just here with my mom and my mom got sick from the eggs benedict and my pancakes were burnt … horrible! I also got a headache and a tummy ache from it… will not be back!
I also should mention that the restaurant is FILTHY! Food all over the floor… and it looks like it’s been there for days! Help! Someone call the sanitation department!

Breakfast/​Lunch paradise with nearly anything you could think of for a hearty meal!
I started going to Fat Nat’s back in 2012 when the folks first brought me there. I was immediately hooked on the cozy diner appeal, plenty of regulars from around the neighborhoods as well as those willing to drive out of their way to get their hands on some solid food.
My personal favorite is the Fat Nat’s Supremo! For $ 10, I have never left hungry since, always needing to take at least half of the meal home for dinner or even a midnight snack. Chorizo, onion, cheese and tomato make up the omelette and is more then filling in it’s normal form, but making it a Fat Nat’s Supremo adds the green chili sauce with a bed of American fries. Absolutely stellar!
Lunch is also beyond words, as I can safely say for myself, that they have some of the best burgers in the city. The Mushroom Swiss burger for $ 9.75 is a must try if you are into that sort of fare. I remember ordering it on a rough day I was having and it absolutely gave that day a 180 degree turn.
I am beyond impressed with the place every time I go. From the friendly staff, quick seating and even faster turn around on orders. If you are looking for a little breakfast corner that will keep you coming back, look no further then Fat Nat’s Egg’s. I’m always happy to show people this place and if you are feeling game, I am more then willing to join you!

Amazing omelets! My wife and I moved very near to this joint last year and have been frequenting it ever since, even despite the popularity and resulting consistent wait times (though to be fair, tables clearly quickly and the daunting waiting list disappears in good time).
Benedicts are normally my go-​to restaurant breakfast and I am honestly usually disappointed because a good benedict is a lot to live up to, but not here — they are very good, though to be fair, not the best I’ve ever had.
Omelets on the other hand I wouldn’t normally order at a restaurant as even the best omelet I have become accustomed to being bland in comparison to other menu items — but again, NOT HERE. These omelets are second to none, and a variety of options to boot. I’ve dialed in my favorite to be the Florentine omelet in particular — always with the beautifully crispy hash browns, and never not with the beautifully crispy hash browns.
Once seated we’ve found we get consistently good, relaxed, approachable service.
I hope this establishment maintains this quality and popularity as long as I’m living in the area because they’ll certainly be continuing to see a lot of me if they do.

i am very happy with my breakfast. Being there by myself and sitting in the counter was a bit uncomfortable for me but people were friendly. The customers sat next to me were coming to this establishment for quite a few years and they were not from the area.
My potatoes were excellent — rich in flavor and cooked just right. Eggs were wonderful — just what you need for brunch. The dipping sauces were a bit on the spicy side but coupled well with my plate. The quantity of food was bigger than I could finish but no worries, you don’t have to eat everything in one sitting:).

The Best place to get breakfast in Minnesota!!! I recommend Fat Nat’s to everyone!!! Great wait staff and food, it cant get any better than that!!!

I could not say enough about this place. The food is about as perfect as it gets. Always hot and fresh. We always sit up at the counter, reminds me of the old days. The service staff are always polite and on their game. Every once and awhile Nat will stop and talk with us, nice guy and he doesn’t cut corners. I can’t seem to stop going through the different eggs Benedict they have on the menu
It is worth the wait!

Oh hello Greasy Spoon breakfast Nirvana. Fat Nat’s knows how to do breakfast right: no frills, no fancy tied waiters… just traditional breakfast favorites done right.
Located in a strip mall in New Hope, Fat Nat’s is like a hidden gem that everyone knows about. Wait, that doesn’t make any sense but you know what I mean. I’ve never come here when the waiting area is empty. I consider this a good sign. Don’t let the line fool you, the wait is never too long. The hostess is quickly seating each party as more people flood in the door.
The vibe here is relaxed & there will be no judgement at the door if you just rolled out of bed in your sweatpants to eat. Hell, the hostess was WEARING sweatpants the last time we came & I loved her for it. It is a bi-​weekly tradition for my girlfriends and I to come here after our Saturday morning CrossFit workout. We like to deliciously undo all of the work we’ve just put in at the gym. One of my favorite things about this place: Your coffee will always be full & hot. They don’t mess around with lazy refills here. They attack those mugs in teams.
At my most recent visit, I ordered the Eggs Bacon Avocado Benedict ($ 9.45) — Just simple & perfect. Crispy English muffin, perfectly poached eggs & their signature spicy avocado verde sauce. Yum. The hash browns may hold the crown for best in the city.
Pat is our favorite server & we always ask to sit in his section. He remembers all of our names & our favorite dishes to order EVERY TIME. Makes a girl feel special, you know? If you can, sit at the kitchen area counter top. It’s the best place to watch the action & catch the servers side talk. They’re actually having fun working & I love that about this place. Happy employees always mean tastier food to me.
Don’t miss a visit here.

It’s got a nice atmosphere, I have been several times and have never been impressed with my pancakes or French toast. Biggest plus for me is really only the proximity.

Try the favorito with carnitas. It’s bangin!
Seriously, this place is low key just good food. Always delivers.

Love love love Fat Nats! At first glance you may think the prices are a little high, until you get your food! There’s enough there for a couple meals! Great friendly service!

Had the Lisa and it was delicious! The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that they charge $ 4 for add of bacon. I think thats a bit much for the portion size we got. Otherwise I love this place!

I was in town for work and found this place on Unilocal.The food was excellent. Very friendly server and just a good atmosphere. I will be back.

My uncle came to visit, so we took him to our favorite breakfast location. He loved it so much that he goes there every time he visits, and had a mug shipped to him in New Jersey that says Fat Nats Egg. He says and I quote «It is the best place in minnesota to have breakfast, it might be the best place in the world to have breakfast!» Just don’t order anything but breakfast there it is not as good. Breakfast is available all day.

Be ready to wait if you’re here on the weekend. The wait will be worth it if you’re ready for a hearty breakfast. They specialize in eggs Benedict here, and while you may not be able to eat it all its quite good. I had the avocado Benedict without the bacon, the home fries were delicious too!

We were seated quickly during the morning breakfast time. The staff was pleasant but busy so I never got a refill on my drink.
Prices were a little higher than I would expect for a simple breakfast spot. Our food came out in like 5 minutes, so fast! The food was just fine, nothing special.
I don’t know that we’ll be back. Not because there was anything wrong with the place. I just think there are other places with comparable or better food for comparable or better prices.

I asked if the hollandaise was from scratch or a mix, the server assured me it was homemade. I tasted it and I now know her to be a liar. Poor thing.
The biscuits and gravy were the worst I had ever tasted, it looked like chunks of sliced balogna in tepid chicken gravy. Accompanied by flat and lifeless biscuits. Appalling.
The green chili dishes were good, regardless of the ensuing diarrhea.
Two stars.

SO GOOD. We randomly decided to come here on a Sunday morning when my boyfriend was craving breakfast food. I’m honestly not a big breakfast person, so I was skeptical.
I ordered the Mikes omelette, and my boyfriend had the huevos rancheros chorizo. We were floored. Best breakfast food EVER. And he’s had a lot of breakfast food!
The dynamic of the place is just fun. Super laid back, busy, and just chill atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I searched for a breakfast place in Minneapolis and Unilocal recommended this place. The reviews were accurate. This place is great and I would definitely come back, if I were in the MSP area.
My friend got the Huevos Rancheros with green chile. It was spicy, just the way I like and flavorful.
I like the basics, hashbrowns, sausage patties, scrambled eggs and toast. It doesn’t sound complicated right? But so many manage to mess this up. However Fat Nats did a good job. Hashbrowns were crispy and golden, eggs were actual eggs, not egg beaters, and they were fluffy and not overcooked.
All in all, a nice visit. Thanks Unilocalers!

I WILL see you again!!!
FOOD: Sooo good! Eggs Benedict can so easily be screwed up but here they made it perfect. «It’s just an egg» but no, Fat Nat manages to make it THE best tasting egg. Slicing it’s centers oozed out with the best lava gold. Pick any of the Benedict’s– I’m sure they’re all good.
Service: FAST! Granted we went on a Wednesday, our waitress say they turn over tables pretty quickly even on busy weekends. Food came out in 10 – 15 mins. Fresh– not frozen or microwaved.
STAFF: sweet and swift. I blinked and missed the act of her topping off my coffee.
ATMOSPHERE: could use a facelift but I’m here for the food. My mug has seen it’s days, but it was clean, kept my coffee hot and didn’t cut my lip so I don’t care. I actually could see Fat Nats being used as a set of a movie. :-)
So like I said, I’ll be back for more. Fat Nat gonna make a Fat Me :-D

I have been here once and its now my like go to breakfast spot! I don’t have many because I wake up when breakfast time is over lol but if I am ever awake again to go here I will be here!
Okay so I think there only open like 7 am to 1pm! and the food the most important thing is incredible! I ordered huevos rancheros with both chorizo and sausage and my boyfriend order the green salsa benedict I think that’s the name its green salsa on the eggs okay! and both of our plates was so good and no joke it tasted like my moms huevos rancheros its hard to find a place that cooks Mexican food without it tasting texmex it taste closely authentic unless I was super hungry I mean it was 830 am!
The staff is super nice and welcoming our server he even warned us you will be addicted once you hit that bite and he was right we are addicted! we ate are whole plated clean!
must try!

Hey breakfast! I like places that know what they’re good at and stick to it. Such is the case with Fat Nat’s. This place reminds me of the diners back East where I grew up. Nothing fancy, no frills, simple but good food. When it gets busy, expect a wait. We actually had trouble hearing the woman calling out names, so we had to listen carefully. Once seated, our waitress was generally OK though we had trouble locating her when we wanted our check. Others who came with refills, cleared plates, etc. were very efficient.
I ordered the Eggs David Benedict, which is a benedict with corned beef hash instead of ham. It was generally very decent, with a generous helping of hollandaise sauce all over the top. I enjoyed a different take on pretty much my favorite breakfast dish, however I did feel like it was corned beef hash straight out of a can. There’s nothing wrong with that — I make the stuff myself at home. But was hoping maybe for homemade hash. The muffin was fine and my eggs were poached perfectly. I upgraded to hashbrowns for 50 cents, which is advisable period.
My husband got the green chile huevos, which he reported to be pretty good. He got it with carnitas. And that is the extent of my knowledge there, except that he cleared his plate.
Coffee was good and strong.
One thing that was offputting was the repeated notations on the menu that no substitutions are allowed. I get that some places are like that, but seriously… that only works if you have the Soup Nazi behind the counter barking at people. At a restaurant where you are cranking out breakfasts at warp speed and most customers can’t even see the kitchen, it just seems rigid and somewhat antiquated. And what about people with food allergies? I actually ruled out some options because I didn’t like one ingredient included in the dish. Why give customers reasons NOT to order your food?
Anyway, very solid no-​frills breakfast joint. We’ll be back I’m sure.

Fat Nats… we’ve met briefly before and like a crazy crush that I sat outside the window of and dreamt of our next encounter, it finally came to fruition this weekend, and boy did you love ever second of our rendezvous this weekend!
I know this locations most intimate details for when to get there and avoid the rush, so I dragged the woman out a bit earlier than she wanted. But, the promise of a raspberry fritter french toast made the pain a little easier to deal with.
Get their early. Shortly after we arrived, 9’ish, the waiting area was full. A couple might be able to sneak to the bar, but, expect a wait if you go around 9.30’ish. Plenty of parking, so fear not.
Service was great throughout, as I knew it would be.
I opted for the Elmer, fully loaded. Ashley went with the Mom (english muffin with ham, eggs and cheese over them with hash) and we split an order of raspberry french toast… which means I waited for gaps in her concentration to try and sneak a bite or avoid serious injury.
Food took very little time, and arrived perfect. Bacon was amazing looking, thick cut, perfect salt, and cooked to a perfect chew. Eggs were scrambled to perfection with fluff, melted cheese, and couldn’t have been better. Hash, crisp and perfect.
Blueberry cakes. I’m not gonna say it was life changing good, but, it could make a man divorce a wife to avoid sharing these things. Just incredible. «Well Josh, what made them so good?» Calm down! The berries weren’t smooshed up and gooey in there. These were FULL berries, not popped at all, so when you bit in. yeah, blueberry explosion of fantasticness in your mouth. Incredible all around.
The Mom was great. Ham was of great quality and melded into the eggs perfectly. Not to mention a bit of hot sauce on the eggs to complete the ensemble
Alright people, gather round. Shit’s about to get real. The raspberry fritter french toast. I know what you’re thinking. «I’m not a french toast fan.» Shut up, you will be and you’ll love this! I can’t explain how good this is. Tarty sweetness that kicks your taste pallet square in the pants and makes you want another.
I know… no chilli? Nah, next time.

I wanted biscuits and gravy. I heard (I’m an out of towner) SunStreet Breads, 4600 Nicollet Ave., has THE best biscuits and gravy in town but I was too tired to make the trek. So I settled for Fat Nat’s Eggs.
The bacon was good (and cost $ 4 for a side of it!), the biscuits and gravy were ok, the rest I wasn’t really into (eggs and potatoes, should have just skipped them). Just your average breakfast greasy spoon. The service was outstanding!
